Mysterier
7" vinyl was the quintessential format for popular music. Today, it is an undervalued and mostly promotional medium, used as a fetishistic signpost for a time of musical authenticity and a "healthy" popular culture. Two tracks from Biosphere originally recorded for Hågogaland Teater, Tromsø, Norway in 2006 and remastered in 2011. Part of the Touch Sevens series, cut by Jason at Transition. Artwork & photography by Jon Wozencroft.

Relocation.Reconstruction
Relocation.Reconstruction is derived from the sound elements of the three installations in Yann Novak’s solo exhibition Relocation at Lawrimore Project (May 2009). In the original exhibition, Novak explored the multitude of emotional states experienced during and after the relocation of one’s life. With this latest work, Novak continues his exploration into this theme a year after the initial event that inspired him, with the new insight that although he has arrived at his destination, the reloc…

Llavi Vell
Edition of 150 copies. Compostion by Ferran Fages (acoustic guitar, contact mics and speakers). The nature of this recording is a distorted image that came to my mind during the composition of the piece. I worked on Llavi vell during 3 months from july to september 2010. The sound is the result of bowing the strings of the guitar in different fret positions, with a bow made of a long metapiece. The fret positions were related to the different divisions of the lenght of the strings: half, third, …
Null
BRAND NEW! “What can we hear now? A sound, as though grains of sand trickle down onto a fine membrane….” This sound, as though grains of finest sand trickle onto a membrane–the last thing that the narrator in Stanislaw Lem’s “Solaris” hears when he starts out on his journey to a world that is falling apart–is the most fitting way to describe the characteristics of Luigi Archetti’s music NULL.Stylistically, the compositions can be placed within the field of planar tonal design, and with this, als…
Hermetic Organ
Breathtaking solo organ improvisations recording!! This is the first volume documenting Zorn's breathtaking solo organ improvisations. Although organ was Zorn's first instrument (he often credits Lon Chaney in the silent classic Phantom of the Opera as a primal influence), in 2011 Zorn surprised even his hardcore fans by initiating a new series of solo organ concerts in churches around the world. Premiering at the historic Christ Church in Philadelphia, the word on these concerts spread li…

This is the first time it has been released on CD. The second track, 'Hurricane Isis' is a new track recorded by Marcia Bassett in Tilburg, Netherlands in March 2008.

La chambre claire
Quentin Sirjacq, a native of Paris, is a young composer, best known in the free improvisation scene for his collaboration with Joëlle Léandre. The album aesthetic is reminiscent of 19th and 20th centuries’ French literature (Barthes, Baudelaire), American minimalists (Philip Glass, Steve Reich) and neoclassicism (Michael Nyman, Wim Mertens, Robert Haigh). Quentin Sirjacq’s music is romantic and symbolic. La Chambre Claire has a timeless beauty, all the while being the perfect accompaniment to mo…
In Dust
In recent years, there has been a surge of electronic artists, for the most part new comers, who have rejected the digital approach which had dominated since the nineties in favour of the more organic analogue textures pioneered during the late sixties and well into the seventies by German experimental musicians, from the most exploratory, with the likes of Emeralds or Oneohtrix Point Never, to the bulk of the Scandinavian disco scene, spearheaded by Lindstrøm, Prins Thomas and DiskJokke.…
To describe George Washington Bridge
To Describe George Washington Bridge is Stephan Mathieu’s 2nd Dekorder release in the 10inch format (reflecting his interest in old 78rpm records) after 2009’s sold out The Key to the Kingdom, and, we’re happy to say, again it features two of the composer’s most outstanding short pieces. Both are recorded utilizing similar methods as used on his most recent album “A Static Place” on 12k yet they are presented in an even more condensed and melodic way. As source material he used transcript…
Aigéan
First solo album from bass player extraordinaire Michael Francis Duch, exploring 1960’s experimental works as vehicles for contemporary improvisation. Duch is a highly generous musician and improvisor. This is equally audible as he moves in the outskirts of reductionism, flirts with noise, engages in the domain of contemporary composition or happily endulges in the joys of free jazz. Mixing a keen and exploring sense of sound with firm and insisting formal thinking, he approaches his bass …
